Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

The Bulls-Hornets series was going very smoothly, at least until the red giant fell.

Two minutes before the end of the game, Francis missed a shot from beyond the three-point line. The exhausted Yao Ming still struggled to grab the rebound under the attack of two muscular men, P.J. Brown and Magloire.

Although Magloire and PJ Brown are not star players, their styles are quite tough.

He almost only knows how to dunk on offense, but one is good at catching rebounds and the other is good at defense. He is a typical representative of a muscular center.

The Hornets originally wanted to use the combination of these two guys to contain Yao Ming, but unfortunately, the grown-up Yao Ming cannot be guarded by just two blue-collar players.

In the first game, under constant physical combat and attack, Yao Ming scored 22 points and 9 rebounds to help the Bulls defeat the Hornets.

It's the same today, with Magloire and Brown flanking Yao Ming all the time.

Because it was Milicic's first time playing in the playoffs and he was still too young, his performance was a bit different from the regular season, and his shooting was not particularly stable in fierce confrontations.

Without stable firepower, it would be impossible to open up space for Yao Ming.

Therefore, Yao Ming basically attacks with men on his left and right in every round.

This time too, Francis' three-pointer hit the frame and Yao Ming still grabbed the rebound despite the two defenses.

Seriously, centers like Brown and Magloire should really thank Shaq and Yao Ming.

If it weren't for Shaq and Yao Ming, all of them, muscular guys with no offensive skills, would be out of a job.

After Yao Ming got the basketball under the interference of two people, he pushed away Magloire very hard, and then took off for a layup under the push of Brown.

But because the confrontation was too fierce when taking off, Yao Ming's body was already crooked. So when he landed, he didn't stand firmly. His left foot landed first, and then his knee accidentally twisted.

The basketball hit the net, the referee's whistle blew, and Yao Ming got the chance to hit a three-pointer.

All the Bulls fans cheered for joy. Their Chinese No. 1 pick was as invincible as ever in the paint.

Normally, Yao Ming would definitely stand up, wave his fist excitedly, and yell about tomatoes.

But this time, the Chinese giant was lying on the ground covering his knees with a painful expression.

Soon, Yao Ming limped out of the game early with the support of the team doctor and walked back to the locker room.

He left with the Bulls taking a nine-point lead.

In the end, the Bulls relied on the advantage established by Yao Ming's previous efforts to win over the Hornets, and the total score of the series became 2-0.

But after winning, none of the Bulls players could smile. They know very well that without Yao Ming, this team would be without a backbone.

Not long after the game, the results of Yao Ming's physical examination were obtained. His knee fatigue moderate sprain, fortunately, did not damage the tendon or bone, it will not have much impact on his career.

Unfortunately, although no bones or muscles were broken, full recovery will take about four to five weeks.

In other words, Yao Ming will probably not be able to come back until the finals.

The premise is that the Bulls can reach the finals without Yao Ming.

After the game, Bulls coach Skiles was very uncomfortable.

When he heard that Yao Ming suffered a fatigue injury, he was helpless.

Since the start of the playoffs, Yao Ming's average playing time has been around 39 minutes per game.

This is not because Skiles wants to kill Yao Ming. The key is that under the defensive intensity of the playoffs, Yao Ming is the only, yes, the only reliable and stable scoring point in the Bulls.

Francis was successful in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it was a ghost game.

Can score, but is inconsistent.

Although Artest can score, he is not a scorer himself, and you can't expect him to help Yao Ming share too much scoring pressure.

Let alone Milicic. As a child who is not yet 19 years old, in the Eastern Conference that advocates muscle defense, you cannot expect him to make a big impact in his first year.

A certain NCAA Final Four MOP cannot withstand the torture of the playoffs.

Although his performance was unsatisfactory, it was good that Milicic was not directly shattered like Anthony in the playoffs.

Angua: Can you please stop mentioning this now that we have reached the second round?

It’s impossible not to mention it, the legend of 54 will be passed down forever.

Because of this, Skiles had to fuck Yao Ming to death. Once Yao Ming comes off the court, the Bulls' offense will be in one word - Riwuan, soft.

There is a saying that the disadvantage is that Yao Ming in this history did not completely gain weight. Otherwise, if he averaged 39 minutes per game, he would be really useless in the first round.

It's a good thing that he didn't gain weight, otherwise it might not be as simple as an ordinary sprain.

Skiles didn't want to either, but there was nothing he could do.

But facts have proven that beating a player to death will cause problems sooner or later.

Originally, Li Ang shot the Wolf King from outside the three-point line today, and the Chinese fans were very excited.

As a result, as soon as the news about Yao Ming's injury came out, Chinese fans instantly felt what it meant to be in the world of ice and fire.

Larry Brown was overjoyed. Yao Ming's injury meant that the Pistons' biggest rival in the Eastern Conference was defeated.

If the Pistons want to reach the finals, they will no longer encounter too many obstacles.

The Pacers and Nets have already fallen early in this history, and now even the Bulls, their only opponent, have fallen. The Pistons have indeed dominated the Eastern Conference.

But on the other hand, no matter who makes it to the Finals in the Western Conference, they will definitely be severely disabled when they come in.

Not to mention the Western Conference Finals, the Western Conference Semifinals have been intense enough so far.

When the full-blooded Pistons beat so many Western Conference teams with weak blood, isn't that a good idea?

Larry Brown was so happy that he played Chopin's Nocturne at home to commemorate his pierced buttocks. He kept his name anonymously and played the piano under the moonlight.

As long as you can win the championship, then the sacrifice is worth it. Even if I get stabbed again, uh, forget it.

Can you imagine what it feels like to squirt blood on the toilet?

Can you imagine how shameful Brown, an old man of several decades, had to wear his wife's scarf in order to prevent blood from seeping out during the recovery period?

You have to be careful when walking, otherwise if you injure a wound, you will have to miss it in front of the reporters.

Those days were simply the darkest time in Larry Brown's life.

Those days when he walked like a penguin, those days when he asked his wife for a scarf every day, and those days when he sat on the toilet and spurted blood, step by step, Brown became more perverted. Oh no, became more powerful!

It's time to stand up in the face of adversity!

Yao Ming was injured, and he was especially cheered up by Larry Brown.

It was as if he had defeated the bull himself.

Should I say it or not? Brown, the old man, has a way of picking peaches no matter in the original history or now.

In the original history, we picked Carlisle's peach, and now we pick Yao Ming's peach.

Li Ang would like to call him the peach picker.

After Li Ang saw the news in the locker room, he immediately called Yao Ming.

On the phone, Yao Ming's voice was very relaxed.

After all, the injury was not particularly serious and it did not affect his career, which made Yao Ming relieved.

And Yao Ming said that with this injury, it is not impossible to play with an injury.

At this stage of the playoffs, who doesn't have any injuries?

Li Ang was also injured. When he was inserted into his mouth just now, he probably lost a few hairs on his little head.

Although Yao Ming can play with injuries, even if he can only achieve 60 or 70% success, it will be a huge help to the Bulls.

But Yao Ming admitted to Li Ang that he did not intend to do this.

After all, the playoffs are over and the Olympics are about to follow.

For Yao Ming, the schedule in the summer of 2004 was too intensive.

Many American players may give up the Olympics for the NBA.

But for Yao Ming, serving the country is more important than anything else.

The NBA championship is not as good as the Olympic champion in Yao Ming's heart.

Yao Ming won the Asian Championships, Yao Ming won the Asian Games, and even the World Championships, the Chinese team miraculously won them that year.

Now, the only award Yao Ming has not won in international competitions is the Olympic gold medal.

Four years ago in Sydney, he was just a young kid, standing next to Bus and Wang Zhizhi like a henchman.

He could only cheer for Clairvoyant's three-pointer from the sidelines and applaud Li Ang's flying ball.

But now, he has become the number two figure in Chinese basketball, and he will personally support the Chinese team's penalty area.

Yao Ming didn't want to miss this opportunity.

If he was unable to play in the Olympics due to a second injury due to his forced comeback, Yao Ming would regret it for the rest of his life.

Although Yao Ming is very eager to win the NBA championship and break out of the Eastern Conference.

But these desires are not as strong as those of the Olympic Games.

None of these desires moved Yao Ming's heart as much as having the five-star red flag raised in Athens.

According to Yao Ming's meaning, he has basically given up on this year's playoffs. Prepare to recuperate well and compete in the Olympics.

Li Ang also sighed. Although he was very unhappy, in the current situation, unless I suddenly get hit by a ball while walking on the road, it is almost certain that the Pistons will enter the finals.

Li Ang was a little unhappy that he actually let Larry Brown get into the finals.

But everything has two sides, and you can't just focus on the bad side.

It's like, although you don't have a girlfriend, at least the money you earn can be spent only on yourself.

Okay, it sounds like you can make money without a girlfriend, which is heartbreaking.

But when it comes to Yao Ming's injury, there are indeed two sides.

Because the Pistons entered the finals, it meant that Li Ang got the opportunity to kill Larry Brown in the finals with his own hands.

The grievances between Leon and Brown, and between Leon and the Pistons, it would be better for Leon to resolve them himself.

What could be better than killing an enemy with your own hands?

Moreover, if Yao Ming can play in the Olympics healthy, it means that Larry Brown will be beaten again in the Olympics.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Yao Ming's choice to recuperate is not entirely a bad thing.

King Li must accept this old monster Larry Brown this time!

Li Ang has already thought of a way. Li Ang now likes drift shots. As we all know, the center of gravity of drift shots changes, so it is normal to be unstable after landing, right?

It's normal for you to lose your balance after landing and fall onto the opponent's bench, right?

When I fell onto the opponent's bench, I accidentally sat on the opponent's coach's head. This seems to be okay, right?

Professional player, absolutely unexpected!

Leon wants to show Larry Brown what it means to do one thing and love another.

At the post-game press conference, someone also asked Li Ang about Yao Ming.

Li Ang expressed the hope that Yao Ming would get well soon, and then advised some heartless people not to be happy too early.

Larry Brown: Ben, what about you?

Although Yao Ming was injured, Li Ang was still the biggest protagonist this night.

7 three-pointers in a single game. When he made a key three-pointer, he reminded everyone: "Get out of the way, I'm going to start pretending."

how to say? It made Larry Bird feel a little stressed.

When it comes to pretending, Bird is a little afraid that his historical status is unstable.

At this point, the four teams in the Western Conference semifinals are tied 1-1.

This time, Ah Jian finally kept up with everyone.

In the last round, everyone was 4-0, but he was the only one who still missed the tiebreaker, which was really embarrassing.

Now we finally get along.

After this game, the regular season awards also began to be announced one by one.

The next day, Master Tang won the best coach award and got a good start for the Suns.

Although Master Tang is well-known, this is the first time in his career that he won the best coach.

With a record of 68 wins, there was actually not much suspense about the best coach from the beginning.

But when Mr. Tang actually received the award, he was still very moved.

I have to say that Master Tang’s story is very inspiring. He was beaten out of his brains when he was young. When he was older, he suffered from cancer and retired from basketball for a time.

Just when everyone was about to forget about him, he came back strong. In his first year back, he brought a boxer with him, won the best 68 wins in team history and won the best coach.

This guy is simply a typical representative of a physically disabled person with a strong mind.

Whoever wants to write coaching articles in the future can just follow Master Tang’s resume.

Master Tang also specifically mentioned Li Ang in his acceptance speech:

"He gave me the courage to come back and the confidence to come back. I know that many people are still not optimistic about our prospects. But what I want to say is, never underestimate a true super giant! I think Li Ang is The most special player ever!"

Olajuwon: Sure enough, love disappears, right?

Today, the Internet is also full of various jokes about Li Ang and Garnett.

Someone took the world-famous painting of Garnett kneeling on Webber's head, placed Garnett's face on the kneeling Webber's head, and placed Leon's face on Garnett's head.

Li Ang also saw this picture. He can only say that as the Internet gradually becomes more developed, the NBA has become more and more interesting.

Some people have watched 1,000 episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants overnight just to find a screenshot of SpongeBob SquarePants and Leon’s last “I Love Honey, Blood and Ice City” celebration similar to each other.

Li Ang and Jiute are really popular.

Jiute looked at these pictures on the Internet and was so angry that his teeth itched.

Damn, how boring are these people on the Internet?

If you have this time, wouldn't it be nice to play two more games of Warcraft?

All I can say is that after all, Hard Special is not a person born in the Internet age.

People born in the Internet age will not complain at all when encountering this kind of thing.

Instead, he will directly take out his keyboard and join the battle!

This is a real man!

But Hard is not worried, because in the next two games, the game will return to Minneapolis.

He is confident that he can create a miracle at the center of the target.

Before the start of Game 3 of the series, the league announced the Rookie of the Year winner. James defeated Agua and became the first player in the 2003 class to win personal honors in the league.

Agua has really started high and gone low this year. I originally thought that his immediate combat ability should be higher than James, but it turned out that everyone was about the same in the regular season.

But in the playoffs, James suddenly made a comeback.

In the end, James also won the Rookie of the Year award.

In this wave, the people of Kecun are being asked to help the people of Kecun, and the first one will get rich, and then the other will get rich.

After this, the series continues. In the third game, at the center of the target, the Suns, who were more comfortable with the V-shaped offense, blossomed on multiple lines.

Garnett's performance was still not bad. He scored 22 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. His all-round performance was still the same.

But for the Suns, Li Ang scored 26 points, O'Brien scored 20 points, and Nash scored 17 points.

Garnett can't beat four hands with one punch.

Although Yan Wang Cassel also scored 18 points with a 58.3% shooting rate, the madman was helpless today, shooting less than 40%, which made the Wolf King's head buzz.

As people predicted before, all three of the Timberwolves' three-headed monsters felt good in one game. This is a small probability event.

In the last game, the Timberwolves lost all three of their three-headed monsters to the Suns. Today, they lost one, and the game became even more unplayable.

100 to 89, Timberwolves fans wanted revenge at home. As a result, the Timberwolves were defeated by the largest point difference in the series at the Target Center.

Being slapped in the face, Ah Jian is a professional.

2 to 1, the Suns came from behind and took the lead with the total score!

On the other side, although the Bulls were without Yao Ming, with Artest and Francis scoring 52 points together, they still defeated the Hornets without a superstar, and the total score of the series became 3-0!

After the game, Artest immediately called his good friend to announce the good news.

"We won bro!"

"I know, I watched the live broadcast, good job!"

Yao Ming was quite happy when he first received a call from Artest announcing the news.

But as they chatted, Yao Ming couldn't help but want to give it a try.

"Hey, as long as I'm here, you can go without worries!"

"ah?"

"Oh no, I mean, don't worry about it in there. Let it be rehabilitated in there. Oh no, just recuperate."

After Artest said this, Yao Ming hung up the phone.

He was holding his big wrench, ready to go to Atai's house to celebrate with him.

Such a wonderful victory, I must be happy and at the same time open my head to add to the fun.

In the fourth game of the series, Sprewell stepped up his game and brought in Gallas. He was prevented from making only 4 of 18 shots in the game, with a shooting percentage of only 22.2%. He accounted for all 2 shots.

Today, because Johnson felt bad, Master Tang gave Wu Sheng more playing time.

Wu Sheng didn't know whether he was good or not, so he was shocked when he came up.

As soon as he came up, he used his tough defense to directly break Sprewell's defense and prevent him from sleepwalking throughout the game.

The Suns' starting lineup is indeed gorgeous, but don't forget, the depth of the bench is also good.

Madman is like this, he can kill the game when he smokes, and he can kill the game when he can't smoke.

Just so crazy.

Cassel's performance today was average, because Li Ang did a very good job in assisting defense today, wiping Nash's butt cleaner than his hands.

The three-headed monster had two heads chopped off, and the tough guy could only play the leading role, with 28 points and 13 rebounds.

But it's hard to hold it alone. It's impossible for one person to grasp such a big ball.

94 to 85, the Timberwolves lost the game by 9 points.

The Timberwolves fans were all dumbfounded. They thought the team could counterattack at home, but it turned out that they lost two games in a row at home!

You thought your current friend was a 9-point beauty, but when you got there, you discovered that it wasn’t a question of ugliness. Damn it, he wasn’t a woman at all!

With that said, it is not difficult to understand the psychology of Timberwolves fans.

3 to 1, the Suns have got the match point!

Li Ang wanted to win the Timberwolves at home in one go, but the Timberwolves struggled for a while in Phoenix.

In Game 5 of the series, Sanders changed his lineup and pushed Szczerbiak into the starting lineup.

He lived up to expectations, scoring 22 points on 5 of 7 three-pointers.

Logically speaking, it was Li Ang who was defending Szczerbiak, and he shouldn't have scored so many points.

But Li Ang actually helped Nash defend Cassel on the court, and Szczerbiak got a lot of opportunities.

But today, his hand was very hot. He really dared to shoot when he had the opportunity. He really dared to shoot and he really dared to score.

Hard Special also broke out, scoring 30 points and 19 rebounds in the game. Hard special grabbed all the offensive rebounds.

At that time, Li Ang really wanted to apply to return to the inside and become the rebounding leader again, so that the hard special could feel the terror of being able to conquer the sky.

The combination of Hardte and Szczerbiak allowed the Timberwolves to win the away game 96-91, bringing the total score to 2-3 and forcibly extending their lives.

But even so, Li Ang was not nervous.

Because in today's game, it was obvious that the Timberwolves were making their final struggle.

Their physical fitness is about to bottom out.

After all, the Timberwolves only came through seven games in the first round. From the second round to now, we have had five more bloody battles with the Suns.

No matter how tough a man is, if he meets someone like Li Ang, he will be drained sooner or later.

The Timberwolves were already exhausted.

Moreover, the day of the next game happens to be the day when the regular season MVP is announced!

Li Ang feels that there is a high probability that he will win the MVP trophy at the Target Center. To be honest, if he can't win the MVP despite 68 wins and being second in the scoring list, then Li Ang might as well retire and go boxing.

Just in time, this year's MVP competition came to an end with a big victory that eliminated Ah Jian!

Tell the world that Li Ang's era has begun!
